Prime Time | What Becoming A Union Territory Means For Ladakh

Engineer and innovator from Ladakh, Sonam Wangchuk speaks to Ravish Kumar about the impact of diluting Article 35A that gave exclusive rights to permanent residents for land ownership in Ladakh. Mr Wangchuk however says that Ladakh had been long demanding being given status of a union territory and not be a part of Jammu and Kashmir. The bill to split Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories sailed through Lok Sabha on Tuesday, with some opposition parties walking out, bringing down the majority mark, and others siding with the government. Amid a political storm that started on Monday morning since Union Home Minister Amit Shah's announcement in parliament, the resolution was passed through a division of votes - 370 members voted in its favour and 70 voted against it.
